  11. Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS)

    Change from Baseline in Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale in part Ⅱ。 The PANSS measures symptom severity of participants with schizophrenia and contains 7 positive symptom scales,7negative system scales, and 16 general psychopathology symptom scales. Participants are rated from 1 to 7 on each symptom scale with a total minimum score of 30 and a maximum score of 210. A decrease in PANSS total score correlates with an improvement in schizophrenia symptoms.

    Measured: Day-1,Day14,Day28 and Day42

  12. PANSS Positive subscale score

    Change from Baseline in PANSS Positive subscale score in part Ⅱ PANSS-Positive: Assessment of positive symptoms. Minimum value:7, maximum value:49, the higher scores mean a worse outcome.

    Measured: Day-1, Day14, Day28 and Day42

  13. PANSS Negative subscale score

    Change from Baseline in PANSS Negative subscale score in part Ⅱ。 PANSS-negative: Assessment of negative symptoms. Minimum value:7, maximum value:49, the higher scores mean a worse outcome.

    Measured: Day-1, Day14, Day28 and Day42

  14. Treatment response rate

    Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) Response rate, Defined as a 50% or Greater Improvement from Baseline in PANSS Total Score in part Ⅱ

    Measured: Day-1,Day14, Day28 and Day42

  15. Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S)

    Change from Baseline in Clinical Global Impression-Severity in part Ⅱ。 The CGI-S rating scale is a 7-point global assessment that measures the clinician's impression of the severity of illness exhibited by a participant. A rating of 1 is equivalent to "Normal, not at all ill" and a rating of 7 is equivalent to "Among the most extremely ill participants". Negative change from baseline scores indicate improvement in the severity of illness.

    Measured: Day-14, Day28 and Day42

  16. Rac

    Accumulation Ratio of VV119

    Measured: Baseline to 360 hours after the last administration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing VV119 (in healthy adult subjects) and VV119(in adult patients with schizophrenia) in people with Schizophrenia, run by Vigonvita Life Sciences at 4 sites in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 13 inclusion and 45 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Aug 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Huaqing Duan (+8618061926005, huaqing.duan@vigonvita.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (time frame: Baseline to 15 days after the last administration). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Aug 2026.
